thank you nelso. i will have a debate with supervisor breed. probably a very heated debate. why? because i had the best campaign team. anthony, my campaign manager. helen wong, field coordinator. thank you very much. you brought hundreds and hundreds of people together with my yellow t-shirt out in the street. it's been a long road for me. it's amazing for me to be standing here actually talking about pathways that nobody expected. i was born in the chinese hospital; i went to jean parker. at jean parker it was a struggle for me; i realize when i walked in, there are a lot of people that don't really know who i am. bear with me, for other people have heard this and million times. i struggle going to school. i had speech problems; i stuttered. it was really my parents that pushed me, tell me i would be okay. for me to be able to talk to you, and maybe i will stutter but it is a personal achievement for me. my parents are both gone, but they would be proud. if you have seen the king speech, you know what i had to struggle with. (applause) again, i was on the school board for eight
